1979 cj7 258 with a t-150 3 speed, 31x 10.50's but soon to be 33's . Stock all the way around for the most part. UPDATE : Now have my Goodyear 33's on it and it looks great !
I have a set of soft doors for my 79 CJ7 and they work fine with one exception, after traveling for a short distance the doors both come away from the windshield frame and leave a small gap for air to flow through. Is there any way to adjust the doors so that the dont do this?
 
You can adjust the latch so it pulls the door in tighter. If that doesn't do the trick, you may need to do some bending of the door.

Sometimes at highway speeds my soft upper doors pull away from my soft top allowing wind into the vehicle, what can I do to stop this?

It is common that your Soft Upper Doors may need to be bent inwards in order to get a better sealing surface with the soft top. With the door open, place your hands on the top of the soft door and pull downward towards the vehicle. Do not worry about breaking the doors as Bestop doors are produced using heavy-duty tubular steel. Adjust as needed. Also, Bestop includes round collars with our door kits. Using these collars around the door pins will help with height adjustment. For 2-Piece Soft Doors, Bestop offers adjustments on the pivot pins to assist with a better overall fit.​
